Council authorizes application for congressional funds to replace patrol cars, radios and cameras
Summary
Council authorized staff to apply for congressional-directed funding after county allocations through Representative Zinci were discussed; the request would fund five patrol cars for Libby, with additional vehicles budgeted for nearby towns.
The Libby City Council voted to authorize staff to apply for congressional-directed funds to replace patrol cars and upgrade radios and camera systems after members discussed a county allocation tied to Representative Zinci.
Council members were told the county had received an allocation of about $700,000 intended for patrol vehicles; the proposal under consideration would seek funds to buy five patrol cars for Libby and additional cars for neighboring towns. The council moved, seconded and approved permitting the police chief to proceed with the application.
No detailed procurement plan or final award was presented at the meeting; council action authorized staff to pursue the application and return with details as they become available.
